The articles say that the space shuttle program for low orbit earth trips has been canceled, not all space travel. The old plan has been replaced with a far more ambitious goal of travel to mars and to an asteroid.
Obama did not end the space program, he canceled a particular program that was 9 years behind schedule and replaced it with the NASA Authorization Act of 2010: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Authorization_Act_of_2010
